Dear Members,

I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update of the IDtrust Member Section. We have had a busy year with lots of activities:

Conferences:

We have sponsored/co-hosted the following conferences this year, most of the conferences were well attended and generated lots of discussions and ideas. I have included speakers who are members of the IDtrust Member Section that presented at our events to indicate the type of exposure that TCs recieve when they are part of our member section.

New Technical Committee (TC):

KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol) TC is the latest TC to join the Member Section.

Outreach:

Members of the Steering Committee were also represented at IIW and the Burton Catalyst conference.

Our Member Section is doing extremely well, despite the economic environment and the consolidation in our industry, membership continues to grow. We have added nine sponsors/contributing members to date.

Thank you for your continued support and don't hesitate to contact members on the Steering Committee, http://www.oasis-idtrust.org/steering-committee, if you have any questions or concerns.
